Chapter 27: The Cipher Mansion
Nanzhou District, Gaofeng City, is located in the center of the city of an office building called "Password Building", with a total of 55 floors and a height of 150 meters.
Ling Hugong's car stopped at the door of the password building, and the two bodyguards, each carrying two suitcases, followed the three of them into the building.
Zhao Feng looked at the building, there were four sightseeing elevators on the outside, and there were also four elevators inside, but there were not many people entering and leaving, and there was no one to watch over the hall.
"I can't imagine that the big event of the Scattered Cultivation Circle would be held in such a blatant place, right? In fact, there are even more daring ones!" Bai Ze said, taking out a new smartphone and clicking on an investment advertisement.
The advertisement shows this cipher building, and the headline is: Hundred Immortals Come to Worship! Cultivation Ceremony! Dao Friends Come Quickly!
"This ...... I remember you mentioned the four major prohibitions for cultivating Zhen, one of which is that cultivators are not allowed to reveal their identities, how is this?" Zhao Feng was stunned, the advertisement was still the headline on the homepage of the investment promotion website, for fear that others would not see it.
"Hahaha! My lord! Times have changed! If you go out on the street now and tell people that you are a cultivator, ten out of ten will think that you have gone crazy reading novels! This kind of title can only be understood by insiders in the circle, and ordinary people will only regard it as a copywriting written by a merchant in order to be unconventional. ”
"The location of the Hundred Immortals is not fixed, and this password building has been held eleven times in the past seven years, but there are many ordinary people until this event, but they only regard this as a place for offline transactions, they don't even know that the 'Daoyou' casually called here may really be a person who cultivates the truth, which is quite interesting to say. Bai Ze said, and a group of five people came to the elevator door.
The four elevators are lined up and look no different from ordinary elevators.
"Brother Zhao, let's take the elevator here, and there is no way to go to the venue over there. Ling Hugong watched Zhao Feng walk towards the elevator next to him, and hurriedly greeted.
"What's wrong with this elevator?" Zhao Feng asked.
"The name of the password building is not casual, the four elevators on the first eight floors of this building can only go up one floor each time, and the elevator must be replaced once every time it reaches the first floor, and only eight times can be accurately selected to reach the designated venue, so only the ticket is not enough, but also the eight-digit password. ”
"However, although this method is very safe, it is inevitably cumbersome, after all, every time the elevator starts to operate, the four elevators are running, and the people behind have to wait on the first floor, which consumes more electricity, and will rent a space in this building, all of which are companies that pay great attention to confidentiality, mostly technology companies and data companies, and this time the venue of Baixian is on the twenty-ninth floor and above, a total of twenty-seven floors. Bai Ze explained while explaining the rules of some activities.
For example, all transactions at the event site are settled on the spot, and no credit is allowed; if the exchange is made, once the two parties leave the venue, the transaction is irrevocable; no inquiry is made about the origin of the traded items; no bargaining; no forced buying and selling; no photography; no inquiry into the name, identity, or origin of any person at the venue......
In short, almost all actions that may involve privacy leakage are not allowed.
Before Bai Ze finished talking about all the rules, the group had already come to the twenty-ninth floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Zhao Feng felt that he had entered a normal shopping mall.
"Don't doubt it, from this floor up, all the shops are open for casual cultivation, but now is not the most lively time, after all, it is only the first day, and the daily finale auction is held in the evening, and most of the casual cultivators are also used to going out at night, and when it comes to the evening, it is the real casual cultivation event! Bai Ze took the lead in shopping, but within half an hour, four passers-by asked Zhao Feng about the price of a stone bow, and only after learning that Zhao Feng had no intention of selling it, did he leave in a huff.
There are also many people who come to the venue and cannot afford to rent a storefront, so they carry the goods with them, if someone sees the goods on their bodies, they can carry out one-to-one transactions, which has also become a potential rule for the hundred immortals, you see that these passers-by have more or less some strange accessories, most of them are put out for sale, you carry such a bow is already special, no wonder some people will treat you as a bow seller. Bai Ze saw Zhao Feng's depressed expression, and explained with a snicker.
Zhao Feng nodded, secretly relieved, and rejoiced in his heart: "Originally, considering that there were a large number of scattered cultivators gathering here, they might be seen as clues, so I left it at home, but now it seems that fortunately I didn't bring it out." ”
As for the reason for carrying a stone bow with him, the main reason is to maintain the feel of the bow, Zhao Feng will always touch the bow behind him from time to time, so that his body will not forget the feeling of holding the bow, and he firmly believes that this is conducive to his bow practice.
At this time, Ling Fox Gong stopped at a store selling cultural and antiques, stared at an old-looking Go board on the glass cabinet, and looked at the price of the label of 100,000 yuan, so he moved his mind, and after asking Bai Ze, he took his bodyguard into the store.
After a while, Ling Fox Bow walked out with a calm face, obviously not buying.
"The other party doesn't sell it?" Zhao Feng asked when he saw this.
"It's not...... It's just that this label says 100,000 yuan, and after I went in, the store asked for 1 million, I think it was because I liked this chessboard, and I deliberately raised the price, although it was nothing, but I didn't want to trade with insincere people, this chessboard...... Don't do it!" Ling Fox Bow reluctantly gave up, and it could be seen that he really liked the chessboard.
"This kind of shop that clearly wants to kill people will not have any good goods, just a chessboard, you can always meet a better one in the future, and go away!" Bai Ze beckoned and was about to leave, when a middle-aged bald man with an oily face walked out of the store.
"Come on, that old gentleman, I see that you really want it, so let's do it! I'll suffer a loss, and the price is 500,000 yuan!" The bald man hooked the belt around his waist with his thumb with a big gold ring with his left hand, and beckoned to Linghu Bow with a proud look of being rich, with a casual look on his face, and he actually regretted raising the price too high.
However, the bald man obviously misestimated Ling Fox's bow.
"Hehe, this little brother, one or two million is really nothing to the old man, but he just looked at it and thought that the price was reasonable...... You and I know very well that in the matter of buying and selling, the seller will never lose, after all, they all have to survive, and the old man doesn't mind spending more money to support the seller, but like you, little brother, you are not greedy enough, what is the difference between buying and selling and robbing?" Ling Fox Bow shook his head, not accepting the store's price reduction at all.
"Phew! If you don't have any money, you say you don't have any money, pretending to be a local tyrant, and you have two decent bodyguards, and the suitcase contains nine out of ten dark coins, it's really unlucky!" The shopkeeper was so angry that he was taught a lesson, not only did he speak ill of each other, but he also spat directly at the back of Ling Fox Bow.
"Old man, can you bear this?" Bai Ze saw that Ling Fox Gong had no intention of getting back into the field, and his face was not angry, and he didn't know that he was the one who was scolded just now.
"Mr. Bai, that person is a casual cultivator after all, I don't dare to provoke it, besides, there are too many people like that, if you have to deal with it every time you encounter it, you can't do anything for a whole day, just to ask for a moment's pleasure, it's really unnecessary. Ling Hugong smiled bitterly, in fact, the main reason is that he has respected the family rules since he was a child, and he has always been low-key.
Unlike most people who keep a low profile for the sake of a higher profile, Ling Fox Bow's low profile is a manifestation of a normal heart, making him calmer when encountering things, even if he is in a crisis, he will not be at a loss.
"So you can't be the protagonist! Like the situation just now, the protagonist directly took out the famous token, sacrificed the Taiyi golden needle, beat the dead fat man to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, incontinence, and then throw off his sleeves and leave, that's called a happy drip! Huh? There are so many people in front, it seems that there is a lively ...... watching."
Following Bai Ze's gaze, he saw that at the corner more than ten meters away, twenty or thirty passers-by were crowded in the corner, bursting into a burst of mocking laughter from time to time, and there were more and more onlookers.
Zhao Feng and his party squeezed to the front row from the side, and saw a young man in night clothes, with a red cloth on the ground in front of him, on which were placed several antiquities that were still stained with soil, and in the middle of it was an ancient sword with a pitch-black body, which looked a little interesting.
"Repeat, boy, what's the name of your sword?"
A question came from the crowd, and before the black-clothed young man could answer, there were already people around him who were already hiding their mouths and smiling.
The young man clasped his legs with both hands, squatted in front of the red cloth, lowered his head, and spit out the word "Cadre!"
"Hahahaha!"
"I didn't expect to see the legendary sword in my lifetime, and it was worth dying!"
"I pinched my fingers and counted, such a divine sword, there is no 200 billion that cannot be held. ”
"Don't hide it, Mo Evil Sword is tiptoeing under the old bed board of my house, 998 shot, if you want it, I'll go back and get it immediately!
The ridicule around him continued, but the young man in black was unmoved.
"Boy, can you get started?"
At this time, a low voice came from the back of the crowd, everyone was silent, and consciously gave way to a position, but saw a strong man wearing iron bracers in both hands stepped forward, and the young man in black looked up at the person.
"Yes. ”
With the permission of the stall owner, the strong man grabbed the hilt of the "cadre" sword, and suddenly heard a sound-
Buzz Buzz......
The blade of the sword trembled lightly, and the sound was incessant, as if the sword had met its master and responded.
"Good sword!"
The strong man exclaimed, then turned around sharply and slashed out behind him, and an iron trash can placed in the corner was split into two on the spot, everyone exclaimed, and they all stepped forward to check, the cut of the trash can was smooth, as if it was cut off by a sharp weapon that sharpened iron like clay!
"It's the real thing!"
